Review: 12000 mAh Power Bank External Battery from Deals.com.kw

DudeKuwait, Technology Leave a Comment

A couple of days ago i back-ordered the Smartphone power bank from Deals.com.kw. Pretty high capacity and goes quite a lot with a single charge and will charge your handsets over and over again before fully discharging itself.

It’s got an indicator that shows the level of the battery and Two USB slots with high enough current to charge the ipad! + You can charge 2 devices simultaneously (however I didn’t try that yet).

At Last Android Jelly Bean on the Xoom

DudeGeneral, Technology, Telecomm 3 Comments

After endlessely waiting for the ICS build to update the Xoom, I’ve been browsing around last night and found that there were builds actually made and ready to install on the Xoom and actually work with 3G and really make a difference in usability of the device it makes you feel you’re using a new device altogether. So I decided to give it a try as I had nothing to loose and really bored from the HoneyComb build. FYI the WiFi xoom already had jelly bean rolled out to it!

The installation phase :

Starting up after the installation

3G worked without having to install anything extra!

Setting up my account on the new Xoom (felt new anyway:P)

The New  fonts and icons, from Jelly Bean – Look a lot better than the honeycomb build!

After signing in all my settings and options were back only had to re-install all the aps (since i wanted a fresh install I didn’t want to back things up)

As you can see here its android 4.1.1

 

Came with Arabic built in here’s a snapshot of the fonts in the browser too:

Typing was now also faster than before :

 

I will give it a try for a couple of more days and give you feedback on the stability and usability. As you know this is an unofficial release from the EOS group.

Find it here on Amazon

Only wish they had something for the HTC One X, the only downside to this phone is that its not a Samsung and not a lot of vendors produce accessories for it, and in Kuwait not a lot of shops understand the strength of this phone.
